optional S-Video cable, or optional component video cables. You only need one video connection between the
DVD Player and the TV. Details are on pages 8-14.
• Make sure the TV is set to the correct Video channel (AUX IN, A/V IN, Auxiliary In, EXT or External In,
Component Video In, S-Video In, etc.). These channels usually are located near channel 00. Check your TV
owner’s manual for details. Or, go to the lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you
see the DVD logo or DVD playback on the TV screen.

play is facing up. Details are on page 15.

• Turn on the power of the audio equipment and make sure it is set to the correct channel or “source”, usually
Auxiliary IN. Refer to the owner’s manual of the audio equipment for details.

the music of the movie will play, not the characters’ dialog; music might not be recorded throughout the entire
DVD. Details are on page 31.
Distorted picture
• Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. Details are on page eight.
• There are some cases where the picture may be distorted slightly and briefly; this is not a malfunction of the DVD
Player.
You cannot change the camera angle.

referring to the DVD case or menu for more information. Details are on page 32.
You cannot change the audio or subtitle language.
• The DVD does not contain audio or subtitles in the desired language. Not all DVDs contain audio or subtitles in
multiple languages. See if other languages are available. Details are on pages 31-32.
An “X” appears on the TV screen, prohibiting an operation.

some menus or features can be accessed or changed only when Disc play is stopped, while some are available only
during playback. Check the instructions for accessing the feature before trying again. Details are on page five.
The DVD Player turns off after 35 minutes.
• If AUTO POWER OFF is activated, the Player turns off if play stops for more than 35 minutes and you press no

minutes, then the Player will turn off as described above. To prevent damage to your TV’s picture tube, avoid leav-
ing the DVD logo on the TV screen. Turn off the DVD Player when it is not in use. A prolonged still image, includ-
ing TV station identification logos or video games, may damage your TV picture tube.
